A game is considered "playable" if it can consistently run at 60 FPS on high settings. This ensures a smooth and visually appealing gaming experience free from lags or stutters.
Heatmap of bottleneck
During gameplay scenarios, your AMD A12-9800E might not operate at its full potential due to the constraints imposed by the AMD Radeon Vega 9. In such cases, the AMD Radeon Vega 9 may struggle to swiftly process and relay data, resulting in underutilization of the AMD A12-9800E. Therefore, the AMD Radeon Vega 9 will be operating at its maximum capacity, leaving the AMD A12-9800E capabilities untapped.
In the hierarchy of bottlenecks, a graphics card bottleneck is often considered less severe than a processor bottleneck. When a graphics card bottleneck occurs, the AMD Radeon Vega 9 operates at its uppermost limits, thereby allowing you to extract the best performance possible from the card. This ensures that you benefit from the full scope of the AMD Radeon Vega 9 features.
One distinct advantage of not maxing out the AMD A12-9800E is the enhanced ability to efficiently manage other background tasks. As the AMD A12-9800E is not operating at full capacity while gaming, it can allocate computational resources to other ongoing activities like background processes or multitasking, without any performance trade-offs. This contributes to a smoother and more flexible overall system operation.
To gain a deeper understanding of these potential bottlenecks, consider referring to our heatmap. On the heatmap, the X-axis depicts the CPU Score, and the Y-axis signifies the GPU Score. This visualization can help identify the relationship between various CPUs and GPUs, giving you valuable insights into how to better balance your system.
By matching your AMD A12-9800E CPU Score with the AMD Radeon Vega 9 GPU Score on the heatmap, you can more accurately assess how these components interact and pinpoint where bottlenecks may occur. Utilizing this heatmap analysis can guide you in making informed hardware decisions that lead to a more balanced and effective computing setup tailored to your specific needs.
General bottleneck calculations
The bottleneck calculations presented here are geared specifically towards in-game scenarios, providing valuable insights into how your hardware configuration could impact gaming performance.
